Loks like top-notch craftsmanship there, but you may not want to insulate your hive...
Check out a forum like beesource - I have had my hives for awhile now, and my limited experience, and the general beek's consensus seems to be that insulating the hive helps to cause condensation inside, to the detriment of the bees. Also, it will keep them colder longer when you start to see warmer days.
No disrespect meant, just throwing in my two cents.
